Release Notes 2023 (Portugal)
Joe Cieplinski and I co-organized Release Notes 2023 held April 14-16, 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal. This was the first event we organized since the onset of the global Covid pandemic. After the conference finished, Heather and I traveled to Lagos, Portugal and explored the Algarve for several days.

Made it to the airport with enough time for some breakfast and a final Pastel de Nata. Next stop JFK.
Thank you Portugal. We had a wonderful time!

After lunch, we continued uphill, into the Alfama neighborhood to visit the a castle of São Jorge. The view wasn’t as spectacular as I had hoped due to the rain, but it’s still a great view of the Lisbon skyline.

We’re back in Lisbon! And it’s raining! After checking into our hotel we headed uphill to the Mouraria neighborhood (the “place of the Moors”) which we were introduced to on our food tour and got lunch at Tasquinho Canto do Fado, a small hole in the wall known for its Fado music.

We chartered a boat ride this morning to see the dramatic Lagos coast from the sea. We had hoped to be able to actually enter some of the grottos, but the sea was to rough today to allow boats to safely enter.

We joined the @KaleidoscopeApp@mastodon.social team – @catlan@mastodon.social, @flo_muc@mastodon.social, and Michael – for dinner at Camilo Restaurante which overlooks Ponte da Piedade. The scenery, conversation, and the food were all fantastic. I’m so glad they invited us.

We revisited Mar for lunch. The view is just too nice to pass up. (Lagos, Faro, Portugal)

Current status: Sitting by the pool, taking in the scenery, and watching them raise and lower the pedestrian drawbridge so that masted yachts can access the marina. (São João, Faro, Portugal)
